*** Tap tap tap! Typing... "Ah... Damn it, the drink's gone..." muttered the man as he tried to take a sip of his alcohol while writing. He was Iwatani Kaito, a 21-year-old Japanese youth who now worked as a Japanese novel writer that has become very viral lately. He had a skinny stature with messy hair, a body that smelled with poorly maintained muscles. However, if only Kaito would improve his lifestyle a bit, he might look slightly more handsome. Kaito sat in his dimly lit room, filled with trash, staring at his computer screen with his darkened eyes and pale face. He typed swiftly, gathering words that were sometimes difficult to express. Alone in the corner of the dark and dirty room, Kaito held a glass of drink in his hand. The sound of footsteps and bustling traffic from the uncleaned glass window only added to the loneliness in his heart. Trembling voices escaped his lips as he muttered to himself, "What am I doing? Will this truly bring happiness?" "Why do I have to be
*** Kaito quickly drank the remainder of his drink, letting the alcohol spread throughout his body. He felt calmer and better now. However, he also knew that the feeling would only be temporary. Kaito gazed back at the photo of his family and smiled. "Someday," he whispered. "Someday, I will leave this room and make my little sister healthy again. I have to fight and keep trying." He took a deep breath, set his glass aside, and began cleaning his room. Although it still looked dirty and messy, he felt like he had taken the first step towards improving his life. "Sighh... I'd better clean up this pigsty rather than drinking alcohol constantly," muttered Kaito as he rummaged through the trash around him. Kaito, who was cleaning the garbage in the dark and dirty room, was startled when his cellphone rang. He grabbed the phone and found that it was his novel editor, Sayuri, inviting him to meet at a coffee shop in the evening. "It's been a while since we last met, Kaito. How are you?
***Step... Step... Step...Kazuki, who was returning from basketball practice at school, heard a commotion and unusual shouts from a young child."HMPPHH-!!"Upon hearing the peculiar sound, he decided to approach and investigate its origin, as well as uncover the anomaly. He also chose to follow the sound of footsteps that he could hear due to his heightened sense of hearing, acquired after leveling up in another world.As he rounded the corner, he saw that the place was now empty, but he could still hear the echoes of their presence."What's going on there?" murmured Kazuki to himself as he approached the location of the commotion. He followed the footprints left behind by the fleeing kidnappers and discovered a small abandoned bag on the ground. Kazuki checked the bag and found the child's identification card."So, this is the bag belonging to the kidnapped child," he remarked to himself with concern. He then followed the fading commotion and attempted to locate the whereabouts of
*** "Are you okay?" Kazuki asked gently. Kaito could only weakly nod in response, still too shocked and injured to speak properly. Kazuki disregarded Kaito and effortlessly defeated the disguised kidnappers. "You're alive, but you're in a very weak condition," Kazuki stated as he finally glanced over at the fallen Kaito. Then, Kazuki turned and walked towards the little girl who was crying. Kazuki felt pity seeing the trembling girl in front of him. He gently embraced her and comforted her with a soft voice. "Be calm, you're safe now. No one will hurt you anymore," Kazuki reassured while gently stroking the girl's hair. The little girl continued to cry, but gradually her sobs subsided. Kazuki kept caressing her hair, providing the sense of security she needed. "Who are you?" the little girl asked with a hoarse voice and teary eyes. "I'm Kazuki, your friend," Kazuki answered softly. "I came to rescue you from the people who kidnapped you." The little girl continued to cry, b
***After walking for a while, Kaito started speaking, "Kazuki, I want to ask about that potion. Can I get it for my sister who is in a coma at the hospital?"Kazuki remained silent for a moment before answering, "I could give you this potion, but you must answer my question first.""Sure, ask me anything you want.""Do you truly understand the concept of the fantasy world and the concept of powers there?"Kaito nodded eagerly, "Yes, I have studied it extensively because I am a novelist. And I am also very eager to save my sister.""Alright, now tell me about it in detail," Kazuki calmly instructed Kaito.Having heard Kaito's life story that he was a fantasy novelist with a fairly well-known pen name, Kazuki began to ask if he understood the concept of the fantasy world and everything within it in detail, as well as the various concepts of powers in the fantasy world, as a condition to grant his request. Hearing this, Kaito nodded enthusiastically to agree and provided answers to the
***At this time, Livy with Sir Robert, her loyal guard, had finally arrived safely at the Capital City of Nivaria, the capital of the Arthia Empire. Although Livy is the Crown Princess, she has chosen to keep her identity hidden from the public. As a result, in the Nivaria Capital, people did not recognize her as the Crown Princess, and their arrival did not cause a stir among the people.However, when they entered the city, Livy and Sir Robert were confused by the lively atmosphere around them. The clamor, laughter, and music playing made them wonder, "Why is it so lively in the Capital City of Nivaria today?"They looked around curiously, trying to figure out the reason for the excitement. The streets are filled with wandering visitors, vendors bustling their trade, and colorful decorations adorning the city's buildings and streets. Music and singing filled the air, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.However, Livy could clearly feel that the accompaniment wasn't really happy,
*** Prince Harry, whose soul has been replaced by a Korean person, now transmigrated and became a prince in the Empire of Arthia. He is currently sitting in his chair, staring at the old man in front of him, who happens to be his grandfather and the leader of the Opposition Faction in the Empire of Arthia. With a calm gaze, Prince Harry opens his mouth and asks his grandfather about the reason for his visit. "Oh, Grandfather, what brings you here?" Prince Harry asks calmly, his eyes fixed on the old man. The elderly grandfather, who appears frail and aged, answers the question calmly yet solemnly, "The time for your ascension to the throne has come." Upon hearing this, Prince Harry's eyes slightly furrow, but he remains composed and nods. "Very well, arrange it as you wish." With those words, the old grandfather nods calmly, not angered by his grandson's demeanor, as he knows the true nature of his grandson. Gazing out of the window at the darkening sky, the old grandfather the
***On a bright morning, Kazuki slowly opened his eyes. The morning sun illuminated his room gently, sending warm rays into the space. Kazuki stretched his body and let out a satisfying groan."Opened eyes...""Yawn~..."He shifted his blanket aside and got out of bed. His steps were light as he made his way to the bathroom to shower and put on his school uniform. He gazed at himself in the mirror with a contented smile."Yep, this is better!" he exclaimed happily.Kazuki walked out of his room and saw Ryuto sitting in the dining area, engrossed in a pile of peculiar documents and small objects. On the other side, Kaito was busy preparing breakfast.After several weeks of living together, Kazuki had grown accustomed to their presence. He had accepted Ryuto and Kaito as his subordinates, although their true identities were well concealed. To others, they were merely new students at Kazuki's dojo, avoiding suspicion from authorities.To ensure their disguises remained intact, Kazuki tra
